ford 8830 Posted June 2, 2008 Author Share Posted June 2, 2008 well the 20 wasnt to bad just had cab and front wheels to do, the 30 was a split chassis so had to weld then fill, then took of the original axles to put on later push in wheels all round with no front mudguards to look more original. Then made some steps from uh mccormick and wing mirrors. Painted then decaled. Just need to replace the power button and rear cab infill and can get ready for some true blue power and black smoke ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Light Land Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 What will you be pulling with these two old yoaks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ford 8830 Posted June 7, 2008 Author Share Posted June 7, 2008 will probably put the cooper discs on the 30 for rape ground and the 20 on the superflow. Think the 7600,s will manage the corn carting :D will put pictures when all ready to go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 What combine you running with them then Rich? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Light Land Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 They would look good with dual wheels all round I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ford 8830 Posted June 8, 2008 Author Share Posted June 8, 2008 just changed the combine to a new class dom 96 with 17ft header. She will be a big step up from the old 85, should get into 50 acres a day on good wheat. Couple of pettit 10 ton trailers will be hard at work. :D Just got to get the 6600 fitted to the bomford hedge cutter and we will be right ready for the off :D Will put the 20 on duals for drilling with the 4 metre carrier drill combo i guess ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
